Howard is just a horrible school! the least they can do is send me a damn rejection letter. I certainly have lost hope about that school and frankly i dont care coz it seems like its not even worth it anyway....afterall the accreditation is no more so.............. 👎

As you said, I also have lost hope about Howard. You cannot imagine how many times I called them to check my status. I called them more than 10 times and even left message. They still haven't returned my call and email. They don't even know how to be professional!! I guess that's why they are on probation.

The administration at Howard is the worst part about the school. They let the phones ring while they are talking to their significant other on their cell phone, or they will make you wait in line while laughing with each other across the cubicles. I have many friends that go to Howard and they all complain about the administration. A friend of mine had her transcript switched with someone elses! They really don't care. I have heard that most of the professors are pretty good, but it's the lack of organization amongst other things of course that is killing them.

I still applied to Howard despite all that b/c its only about 1/2 an hr away from me, but after hearing about the accreditation problem in February from a good friend of mine that attends the school, I mentally crossed it off my list. He is a P1 and is really frightened for the future of the school since its the second time in 5 years for the SOP to be on probation. He advised me to concentrate on other schools.

How many people have been accepted to Howard? Does anyone know? I was told at the interview that they will be accepting 50 - 60 students...but like 40 people showed up for the interview on May 17th! Has anyone gotten a rejection or acceptance letter yet?

 

[comet81]

was May 17th interview was the last one?

I have not yet heard of any others...but the email that Howard sent to everyone said that they are still reviewing applications and are still interviewing, but everything else on the email was wrong (like take pcat in 01/2006 and pharmcas updates) so this might be as well. Has anyone recieved an interview after the 17th of May? 😎
